RE: Celestia running in IRIX
Celestia 1.3.0 was a very problematic port. They did some nasty stuff with class pointers which i could not reproduce on MIPSPro C++ compilers.
The color flashing is pretty fixable but it requires disabling some openGL 1.4 extensions. Since my MGRAS and RE systems were at 1.2 and 1.1 respectively and i wasnt a GL expert then (nor am i now) i didn't pursue it further.
